"I am from another world, I always felt so." Eugene von Bruenchenhein
Eugene von Bruenchenhein worked in a variety of media and, each body of work has its own distintive visual language. He created sculpture out of concrete, chicken bone or, as in lot 69, painted ceramic and found objects. The jagged forms of his evocative paintings suggest fantastic creatures or visionary landscapes and are executed in his trademark high-key palette and incised surfaces. He also undertook a decade-long series of photographs with his wife Marie as the main subject. The tender and haunting photographs are some of his most compelling work. The artist's use of sinuous organic forms is a constant unifying motif throughout his oeuvre.
